| My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour. Of course we loved the pizza selections, they were fantastic, but we also enjoyed the sights of Brooklyn as well. Tony and Jimmy were excellent tour guides who presented the history of Brooklyn and made it fun and very interesting. Of course, it was made much better since they were both Brooklynites. The whole day was a wonderful time and we would enthusiastically recommend the tour to others. We would like to take it again.

| Tour is very casual and accommodating. Plenty of food at the pizza stops. Good mix of riding and walking. Would have loved a walk along the Russian area of Coney Island Blvd to see the beautiful Russian twentysomething ladies out shopping. Guides love their jobs and BK. Tom Caswell |

| The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was absolutely the best tour you could have in to Brooklyn, which is after all on the Dark Side. The day we went it poured with rain so much but it was all totally fascinating. Standing under Brooklyn Bridge in the pouring rain is not your everyday experience but Tony made it enjoyable and fun, And I dont even like Pizza. You must go on the tour without having had breakfast and taste the most amazing Sicilian Pizza in the world. We went to Nathans for hot dogs, fantastic, what an experience, why even the lady from Manhatten enjoyed.
The film set DVD played during the tour was good too, thought I must say some of the famous people from Brooklyn rather left me confused.
Summary Best thing We bought in New York this trip must do it again

| If you want to see and learn all about Brooklyn then this is the tour you should book. Right from the pick up point Tony was a professional in every way. His local knowledge and the ease and manner in which he imparts this to you makes for a most enjoyable 4 hours. On the day we did the tour there were 13 in all with my 12 year old son being the only non adult, Tony made a special effort to make sure that my son enjoyed the tour just as much as the adults. If you thought you knew what good pizza was, think again, and then there is the ice cream, to die for! It's called the Pizza tour, but the Pizza is just part of it, Tony is a local historian who really know his stuff about this area, right from Union square park and through to Coney Island he kept us intrigued with stories and anecdotes of every area, all in time with the on board DVD visual system. With out doubt this was our most enjoyable and memorable part of the visit to New York.
Thanks Tony.

| 2 weeks before our holidays to New York (7 to 15th July 2007), we read an article in the weekend magazine of our Belgian newspaper about the Brooklyn Pizza Tour.
We found out more by checking the website and decided to give it a try.
And I must admit it was really a hit ! We simply loved it and our sons of 18 and 15 years old were ever so enthousiastic. Tony is the perfect guide one could wish, he did everything to make it comfortable and enjoyable to everyone, showed us around the most beautiful places in Brooklyn, took us to interesting places and famous film sets, told about the history and let us have two delicious pizza-stops. In the meantime that the driver was taking us to a next stop, Tony was showing extracts from well-known films and we could see where the scenes were taken, and we got to hear a lot of music from famous Brooklyners. He simply is such an energetic and enthousiastic narrator that everybody gets caught in the fire of the story.
We really can recommend the tour to everyone, and to us it was also a welcome change to be guided around by a professional because we did all the rest of our sightseeing in Manhattan on our own. We really keep an unforgettable and marvelous souvenir of Tony and his Brooklyn Pizza Tour! |

| The most friendly tour I have been on with Tony going out of his way to make the group feel at home in his part of New York.
The presentation of the tour was totally professional and well balanced but also very personal, far more so than any other tour I have done in New York.
The pizzas were great and the tour should appeal to all ages.
I will be recommending this tour to anyone I know visiting NY.
(just be prepared for the Cyclone ride at Coney Island.......not for the fainthearted!)

| The first I heard of the Pizza Brooklyn Tour was from an article in the Times back in February of 2007. It looked like a great thing to do and was very easy to book.The trip to New York was a 21st birthay present for our twin sons and this seemed something that guys of their age would enjoy. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Tony was a superb guide, a man that was not only passionate about pizza but passionate about his home town of Brooklyn. It really felt like being shown around by a friend. Both sorts of pizza were superb and having been to Sicily I can vouch for the authenticity. The visit to Coney Island and the boardwalk realised a long held ambition by my wife, her only complaint was she would have liked time to go onto the beach and paddle. We met some lovely people on the tour, sitting down with strangers and at the end of the day feeling that you were with friends is a great achievment. The film clips of Brooklin was an inspiration and we have enyoyed telling friends about DUMBO. Thank you Tony for giving me and my family a day to remember. |

| The reviews are all spot on the man is a legend and started our holiday off with a great tonic. Any one looking for a first rate introduction to part of New York in a small intimate group and a brillant leader should book this value for money trip.
This is a suggestion. My son says Grimadi's is the best for pizza he has ever had and perhaps a variation of pizza topping and extra pizza would have been even better. The second stop was a quite heavy pizza and our group struggled to eat it. However why not make the stop for only the wonderful spumoni ice cream parlor instead of both pizza and ice cream. If you get your fill of Grimaldi then the ice cream is simply a master stroke to compliment and going on to the cyclone at coney would not be such a fear to some who were so full of pizza
